Mayor Ness statement on Georgia Pacific plant closure
[Duluth, MN] - Mayor Don Ness released the following statement regarding the news of the Georgia Pacific plant closure in Duluth.
"The news from Georgia Pacific is disappointing given previous assurances from the company that it would not close this plant. We will start working immediately to support new operations at the plant. Meanwhile, our focus will be on the workforce that will be displaced. This is unfortunate and untimely news for our community. I'm very disappointed by this decision."
